I just saw the film: Beyond the Sea this afternoon, and found it to be completely entertaining and worthwhile. Kevin Spacey puts a lot into the pop star's life, with writing acting and directing the feature. The film has a few plot twists, and an unconventional style to telling a story, which makes it quite interesting.
If you love movie musicals or concert type films, this one covers it all. It was filmed in the UK and Germany as well. I can't understand how the NY critics gave it such a poor review?
The cast is top rate with Spacey as Darrin, Kate Bosworth as Sandra Dee, John Goodman as the promoter, Bob Hoskins, Brenda Blethyn and Greta Scacchi & Caroline Aaron rounding out the cast of principal actors.
Spacey does a fine job singing as Darin, and the dancing is reminiscent of a time in entertainment that is not part of today's showbiz culture. Very worth while.
